Rogue One Poll: Who is your favorite character of Rogue One?

Raddus for me, though I would have voted Tarkin if he was there. I didn't really connect with any of the core rebel team and felt Krennic was much more interesting in Catalyst than he was on screen. I also think Cassian would have been much more interesting if they had included the detail from the novelization that he was a separatist.

 

As others have said I'm discounting Vader not only because he's pre-existing but he's such a huge character in SW lore it's unfair on everyone else really.

1. K-2SO
2. Chirrut Imwe
3. Saw Gerrera
4. Grand Moff Tarkin
5. Admiral Raddus

Krennic was a bit disappointing in the movie, but having just finished reading Catalyst, he's much more interesting there which adds to Ben Mendelsohn's performance.

 

Cassian easily. I love that he is someone who does whatever it takes and believes in his cause as much as possible. I really like seeing character do terrible things because there is no way out or the alternative is even worse. Cassian does not take the easy out cause there are none. He owns his job and place in the Alliance. His line "I don't have to" is my favorite. I want a Cassian and General Draven novel more than anything

 

Cassian or maybe even Director Krennic. But I voted Cassian !!

 

Baze Malbus

 

No Tarkin?

 

We certainly don't have any professional pollsters here.

 

TF.N polls have a maximum of 10 items..... but he gets one vote from you

 

Chirrut, followed closely by K2.

 

The fact that this is a tough choice says a lot about the movie. I ultimately chose Chirrut because of his mysticism and his love for the Force. He really stands out among the cast.

However, there is not a single character that I felt was poorly executed in the film. Every member of the Rogue One team was great in their own way, and both Krennic and Galen were fantastic as well. Everyone was really a solid addition to the Star Wars cast of characters.

 

It's a tie between Jyn and Cassian, followed by K2. However, I voted Cassian. Two of his pivotal scenes (when he has an argument with Jyn and when he's willing to help her) is what make him the definitive rebel agent for me. He was so right in everything he said. And I loved his chemistry with Jyn and K2.

 

Exactly. He is so self aware of himself and knows exactly where he stands pretty much the whole time. "I don't have to" still is the best line in the film.

 

Jyn and Baze were my favorite main characters.

Pao and Raddus were my favorite side characters.

I loved everyone though.

 

I've never given much thought to Bodhi or Cassian to be honest when I think about this so reading some responses here made me appreciate them more. Thanks for that!

I would go with Chirrut. My GF says I'm obsessed with him, which isn't true, but he's awesome. Easily a new one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I love his understanding of the Force and almost devotion to a now gone era. He's a great character and a great fighter. I guess the reason I never think of Bodhi is because he seems more like a plot device than a well developed character. This is NOT at all a criticism of the film (I have none; I've seen it 21 times lol), only an acknowledgement that with so many characters it's tough to feel like I know them all very well. We know tidbits about each of them and they each have limited time to make an impact I guess you'd say.

K-2SO is probably a close second with Krennic third. I want that awesome white cape and outfit lol if I was actually in the 501st or something that would be my outfit of choice.

 

Chirrut Imwe

A wonderful homage to not only the light side of The Force in this movie, but to its human component in general;

a stark contrast, and just as great in my opinion, to Vader's starring

 

As much as I love Chirrut and voted for him myself, I think Baze also shows this human aspect as well.
While at times he makes fun of Chirrut's faith, it is clear that he "wants to believe", which eventually he does.

 

Chirrut Imwe beats K-2SO by a nose.

 

...Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Ryx, daughter of the Seventh House of Betazed.

 

Oh, that's why Vader was walking funny when he boarded the blockade runner!

 

Great to see this guy get some love! Probably the most underrated SW character...ever.
